BACKGROUND ART

Lighting applications include vehicle lights as well as backlights for displays and signs. Light emitting device, such as light emitting diode (LED), have advantages such as low power consumption, semi-permanent life, fast response speed, safety, and environmental friendliness compared to conventional light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. These light emitting diodes are applied to various display devices, various lighting devices such as indoor or outdoor lights. Recently, as a vehicle light source, a lamp employing a light emitting diode has been proposed. Compared with incandescent lamps, light emitting diodes are advantageous in that power consumption is small. However, since an emission angle of light emitted from the light emitting diode is small, when the light emitting diode is used as a vehicle lamp, there is a demand for increasing the light emitting area of the lamp using the light emitting diode. Since the light emitting diode is small, it may increase the design freedom of the lamp, and it is economical due to its semi-permanent life.

The first and second surfaces S1 and S2 may extend with a long length in the first direction, and the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4 may extend with a long length in the second direction. have. The first and second directions may be orthogonal to each other or may cross each other at an acute angle or an obtuse angle. The third direction may be a vertical direction or a thickness direction, and may be a direction orthogonal to the first and second directions. In the lighting module 200, at least a portion of the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may face each other or be disposed to be shifted. At least a portion of the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 may face each other or be displaced. The third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 may be different from the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. The minimum distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may be smaller than the minimum distance between the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4.

In the lighting module 200, the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may have a long length in one direction or the first direction X, and may extend long in a bar shape or a line shape. The first surface S1 may be a surface opposite to the light emitting surface 111 of the light emitting device 100 or a surface from which light having the highest luminous intensity among the side surfaces of the resin layer 220 or the wavelength conversion layer 250 is emitted. The first surface S1 may be a first exit surface facing the light emitting surface 111. Here, the light emitting device 100 has been described as a light emitting surface 111 with a side surface in a single direction, but may emit light on two or more surfaces or four or more surfaces depending on the type of device or light source. In the lighting module or device 200, the plurality of light emitting devices 100 may be arranged in a first direction or along a region adjacent to the second surface S2. The plurality of light emitting devices 100 may be arranged in at least one row. The virtual line connecting the light emitting devices 100 arranged in at least one row may be a straight line or include a curve. As another example, the plurality of light emitting devices may be arranged in two rows, and the light emitting devices in the first and second rows are disposed between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 in a column direction (e.g., Y direction) may be arranged so as not to overlap each other. The plurality of light emitting devices 100 arranged in the first direction X may face the first surface S1 or the first emission surface, respectively. Each light emitting surface 111 of the plurality of light emitting devices 100 may face the first exit or the first surface S1. The light emitted from the light emitting device 100 may be emitted through the first surface S1, and some light is transmitted through the second surface S2, the third surface S3 and/or the fourth surface S4.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 , in the lighting module 200, a first length X1 in the first direction X may be longer than a second length Y1 in the second direction Y. The first length X1 may vary depending on the number of arrangements of the light emitting devices 100, and may be, for example, 30 mm or more. The second length Y1 in the second direction may be 13 mm or more, or 16 mm or more, or 20 mm or less. The second length Y1 of the lighting module 200 may provide a region in which the emitted light of the light emitting device 100 is diffused and a region protecting the rear of the light emitting device 100. Here, when the minimum interval between the two adjacent light emitting devices 100 is G1, the first length X1 may be greater than twice the distance G1, and the second length Y1 may be may be less than twice the distance G1. The distance G1 may be 10 mm or more, for example, in the range of 10 mm to 15 mm.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the distance D1 between the first surface S1 and the light emitting surface (or one surface) of the light emitting device 100 and a distance D5 between the other surface of the light emitting device 100 and the second surface S2 may be different from each other, and for example, may have a relationship of D1>D5. The distance D5 between the light emitting device 100 and the second surface S2 may be 3 mm or more, for example, 3 mm to 20 mm. When the distance D5 between the light emitting device 100 and the second surface S2 is smaller than the above range, the region in which moisture may penetrate or form a circuit pattern may be reduced, and when larger than the above range, the lighting module 200 may be increased. In the lighting module 200, the first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 are provided in a plane perpendicular to the third direction Z, or at least one of the first to fourth surfaces S1 to S4 may include a curved surface or an inclined surface. The first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4 may have the same thickness or the same height in the third direction Z. For example, the first surface S1 as the first exit surface may be a vertical plane or may include a convex curved surface having a curvature. The resin layer 220 may include the second surface S2, the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4, and the wavelength conversion layer 250 may include the first surface S1, a third surface S3 and a fourth surface S4.

A wavelength conversion layer 250 may be disposed outside the resin layer 220. The first to fourth surfaces S1, S2, S3, and S4 may be the outermost surfaces of the resin layer 220 or the wavelength conversion layer 250. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may be disposed on the side surface of the first surface S1, or may be disposed on a part or the entire side surface of the third surface S3 and/or the fourth surface S4. When the wavelength conversion layer 250 is in contact with the outer surface of the resin layer 220, the boundary surface Sa between the wavelength conversion layer 250 and the resin layer 220 may be disposed along the region where the wavelength conversion layer 250 is formed. For example, the boundary surface Sa may be disposed along the first surface S1 or along portions of the first surface S1, the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4. That is, the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be disposed on a surface corresponding to the first, third, and fourth surfaces S1, S3 and S4 of the resin layer 220. The resin layer 220 may be disposed to surround a device disposed on the substrate 210, for example, one or a plurality of light emitting devices 100. The resin layer 220 may seal the light emitting devices 100. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with the light emitting devices 100. At least three or more of the plurality of light emitting devices 100 may be arranged in the first direction, and may be disposed in the resin layer 220. The plurality of light emitting devices 100 may be disposed between the substrate 210 and the second reflective member 240. The resin layer 220 may be made of a light-transmitting material such as silicone or epoxy. The resin layer 220 may include a glass material as another material. The resin layer 220 may be a layer having no impurities or may include impurities such as a diffusion agent. The first reflective member 230 may be disposed between the resin layer 220 and the substrate 210. The first reflective member 230 may not be formed, and a reflective material may be formed on the upper surface of the substrate 210.

The substrate 210 includes a printed circuit board (PCB), for example, a resin-based printed circuit board (PCB), a metal core PCB, a flexible PCB, and a ceramic PCB, or a FR-4 substrate. The substrate 210 may be a flexible or non-flexible substrate. A circuit pattern may be disposed on the substrate 210. The circuit pattern of the substrate 210 may include a plurality of pads in a region corresponding to the light emitting device 100. The plurality of light emitting devices 100 may be electrically connected to the substrate 210. The plurality of light emitting devices 100 may have a bonding portion disposed thereunder, and the bonding portion may be electrically connected to the pad of the substrate 210. The plurality of light emitting devices 100 may be connected in series by a circuit pattern of the substrate 210. As another example, the plurality of light emitting devices 100 may be connected in parallel by a circuit pattern of the substrate 210, or two or more groups connected in series may be connected in parallel. Among the regions of the substrate 210, a rear region with respect to the light emitting device 100 is a region opposite to a region from which light is emitted, and circuit patterns for connecting the light emitting devices 100 may be disposed. The width of the rear region may vary according to the number of the light emitting devices 100 or a connection method of the light emitting devices 100. The width of the rear region is the distance D5 between the light emitting device 100 and the second surface S2, and may be 3 mm or more. Accordingly, a circuit pattern for connecting the plurality of light emitting devices 100 and suppressing moisture penetration from the rear of the light emitting device 100 may be formed.

The light emitting device 100 may include a device including a light emitting chip or a package in which an LED chip is packaged. The light emitting chip may emit at least one of blue, red, green, and ultraviolet (UV) light. The light emitting device 100 may emit at least one of white, blue, red, and green. The light emitting device 100 may emit light in a lateral direction, and a bottom portion may be disposed on the substrate 210. For example, the light emitting device 100 may be a side view type package or a package having one side of the light emitting surface 111. As another example, the light emitting device 100 may be an LED chip, and one surface of the LED chip may be opened and a reflective member may be disposed on the other surface. Alternatively, an LED chip may be disposed on the substrate 210, and light may be emitted through an upper surface and side surfaces of the LED chip. The light emitting surface 111 of the light emitting device 100 may be disposed on a surface adjacent to the substrate 210, for example, on a side adjacent to the upper surface of the substrate 210. The light emitting surface 111 is disposed on a side surface between the bottom and the upper surface of the light emitting device 100, and emits light in the second direction Y. The light emitting surface 111 of the light emitting device 100 may be adjacent to the first reflective member 230 and may be a surface perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate 210 and the upper surface of the first reflective member 230. The height of the light emitting device 100 may be in the range of 1 mm to 2 mm, for example, in the range of 1.2 mm to 1.8 mm. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 , the pitch G1 between the light emitting devices 100 may be 10 mm or more, for example, in the range of 10 mm to 15 mm. In addition, the distance G2 between the outermost light emitting device 100 and the third or fourth side surfaces S3 and S4 of the resin layer 220 may be smaller than the pitch G1, and may be 10 mm or less. Here, the distance D1 may be 90% or more of the pitch G1, for example, in a range of 90% to 120%, and the pitch G1 may vary according to the distance D1.

The length of the light emitting device 100 in the first direction X may be greater than the height of the light emitting device 100, for example, 1.5 times or more of the height of the light emitting device 100. Since the light emitting device 100 has a low height and a long length in the first direction X, the light emission angle in the first direction X, which is the left-right direction, based on the center of the light emitting device 100 may be provided widely. Here, the light emission angle in the first direction X of the light emitting device 100 may be greater than the light emission angle in the third direction Z, which is an up-down direction. The light emission angle of the light emitting device 100 in the second direction Y may range from 110 degrees to 160 degrees. Here, as shown in FIG. 3 , the thickness Za of the substrate 210 may be smaller than the height of the light emitting device 100. The height of the light emitting device 100 may be at least twice the thickness Za of the substrate 210, for example, in the range of 2 to 4 times. Since the thickness Za of the substrate 210 is thin, the lighting module 200 may be provided as a flexible plate.

The resin layer 220 may cover the light emitting device 100 on the substrate 210. The second reflective member 240 may cover the upper surface of the resin layer 220. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with the upper surface and side surfaces of the light emitting device 100. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with the upper surface of the first reflective member 230. A portion of the resin layer 220 may be in contact with the substrate 210 through the hole 232 of the first reflective member 230. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with the light emitting surface 111 of the light emitting device 100. The first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4 of the resin layer 220 may be side surfaces between the first and second reflective members 230 and 240. The upper surface area of the resin layer 220 may be the same as the upper surface area of the substrate 210, the upper surface area of the first reflective member 230, or the lower surface area of the second reflective member 240. The length of the resin layer 220 in the first direction may be the same as the length of the substrate 210, the length of the first reflective member 230, and/or the length of the second reflective member 240. The maximum width Y1 of the resin layer 220 in the second direction may be equal to the maximum width of the substrate 210, the maximum width of the first reflective member 230 or/and the maximum width of the second reflective member 240. As another example, the upper surface area of the resin layer 220 may be smaller than an upper surface area of the substrate 210. In this structure, the upper edge of the substrate 210 may protrude more outward than the lower edge of the resin layer 220. The resin layer 220 may be disposed between the first and second reflective members 230 and 240. A portion of the resin layer 220 may be disposed between the substrate 210 and the second reflective member 240. The upper surface of the first reflective member 230 and the lower surface of the second reflective member 240 may face each other on the lower surface and the upper surface of the resin layer 220. The upper surface of the first reflective member 230 and the lower surface of the second reflective member 240 may have the same area. Accordingly, the resin layer 220 may diffuse the light emitted from the light emitting device 100 and the light reflected by the first and second reflective members 230 and 240 to guide them in the lateral direction.

The resin layer 220 may be formed with a thickness Zb or a height greater than the height of the light emitting device 100. Accordingly, the resin layer 220 may protect the upper portion of the light emitting device 100 and suppress moisture penetration. Since the substrate 210 is disposed on the lower portion of the light emitting device 100 and the resin layer 220 is disposed on the upper portion of the light emitting device 100, the light emitting device 100 may be protected. Accordingly, the interval between the upper surface of the resin layer 220 and the light emitting device 100 may be 0.5 mm or less, for example, in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 is the distance between the first and second reflective members 230 and 240, and the distance (e.g., Zb) between the first and second reflective members 230 and 240 may be smaller than the distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. For example, the distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may include a maximum distance or a minimum distance. By arranging the distance between the first and second reflective members 230 and 240 to be smaller than the width Y1 or the minimum width in the second direction of the lighting module 200, a surface light in the form of a line may provide and the luminous intensity may improve and a hot spot may be prevented. In addition, it is possible to provide a lighting module that is flexible in the third direction. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be less than or equal to twice the thickness of the light emitting device 100, for example, more than 1 to 2 times or less. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be, for example, in the range of 1.5 mm to 1.9 mm or in the range of 1.5 mm to 1.6 mm. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be 0.8 times or less of the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200, and for example, it may be in range of 0.4 times to 0.8 times the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200. Since the resin layer 220 is disposed with a difference of 1.2 mm or less from the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200, it is possible to prevent a decrease in light efficiency in the lighting module 200 and to strengthen the ductility characteristics. The resin layer 220 may include at least one of silicon, a silicone molding compound (SMC), an epoxy, and an epoxy molding compound (EMC). The resin layer 220 may include a UV (ultra violet) curable resin or a thermosetting resin material, for example, may selectively include PC, OPS, PMMA, PVC, and the like. For example, the main material of the resin layer 220 may be a resin material having a urethane acrylate oligomer as a main material. A bead (not shown) may be included in the resin layer 220, and the bead may diffuse and reflect incident light to increase the amount of light. The resin layer 220 may include a phosphor. The phosphor may be lower than the amount of phosphor added to the other resin layers, and may include at least one of yellow, green, blue, and red phosphors.

The first reflective member 230 may reflect the light emitted from the light emitting device 100. The first reflective member 230 may be formed on the upper surface of the substrate 210. The first reflective member 230 may be formed as an upper layer of the substrate 210 or as a separate layer. The first reflective member 230 may be adhered to the upper surface of the substrate 210 with an adhesive. The resin layer 220 may be adhered to the upper surface of the first reflective member 230. The first reflective member 230 has a plurality of holes 232 in a region corresponding to the lower surface of the light emitting device 100, and the light emitting device 100 may be connected to the substrate 210 through the holes 232. A portion of the resin layer 220 may be in contact with the substrate 210 through the hole 232. The hole 232 may be a region in which the light emitting device 100 is bonded to the substrate 210. The first reflective member 230 may have a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The first reflective member 230 may include a material that reflects light, for example, a metal or a non-metal material. When the first reflective member 230 is a metal, it may include a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag), and in the case of a non-metallic material, it is a white resin material. The resin may be a material filled with metal oxide and/or air, or may include a plastic material. The first reflective member 230 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The first reflection member 230 may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffuse reflection film, and a regular reflection film. The first reflective member 230 may be provided as, for example, a regular reflective film for reflecting the incident light to the first surface S1.

One end of the first reflective member 230 may be disposed on the same plane as the first surface S1. The other end of the first reflective member 230 may be disposed on the same plane as the second surface S2. As another example, one end and the other end of the first reflective member 230 may be spaced apart from the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 and may be in contact with the resin layer 220. That is, the outside of the first reflective member 230 may be covered with the resin layer 220 to prevent moisture from penetrating. A thickness Zc of the first reflective member 230 may be smaller than a thickness Za of the substrate 210. The thickness Zc of the first reflective member 230 is greater than or equal to 0.3 times the thickness Za of the substrate 210 to reduce transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zc of the first reflective member 230 may be in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, and when it is smaller than the range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is thicker than the range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may increase. A thickness Zd of the second reflective member 240 may be smaller than a thickness Za of the substrate 210. The thickness Zd of the second reflective member 240 is greater than or equal to 0.3 times the thickness Za of the substrate 210 to reduce transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zd of the second reflective member 240 may be in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, and when it is smaller than the above range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is thicker than the above range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may increase. The second reflective member 240 may be disposed on the entire upper surface of the resin layer 220 to reduce light loss. The second reflective member 240 may be made of the same material as the first reflective member 230. In order to reflect light and reduce transmission loss of light, the second reflective member 240 may be made of a material having a higher light reflectance than that of the first reflective member 230 or may have a thicker thickness. The second reflective member 240 may have the same thickness as the first reflective member 230 or a thicker thickness. For example, the first and second reflective members 230 and 240 may be provided with the same material and the same thickness. The second reflective member 240 may be formed in a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The second reflective member 240 may include a material that reflects light, for example, a metal or a non-metal material. When the second reflective member 240 is a metal, it may include a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag), when it is a non-metal, it may be a white resin material, a material in which metal oxide and/or air are filled in the resin, or may include a plastic material. The second reflective member 240 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The second reflection member 240 may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffuse reflection film, and a regular reflection film. The second reflective member 240 may be provided as a regular reflective film so that, for example, incident light travels in the direction of the first surface S1. Here, a light extraction structure such as a concave-convex structure may be disposed on the first surface S1. Accordingly, the extraction efficiency of light emitted through the resin layer 220 may be improved. On the first surface S1, the first overlapping region overlapping the light emitting device 100 in the horizontal direction and the second overlapping region overlapping the region between the light emitting devices in the horizontal direction may be disposed on the same plane. As another example, the second overlapping region may be concave in a second surface direction than the first overlapping region, or the first overlapping region may protrude more convexly than the second overlapping region. The first surface S1 may be treated as a haze surface to diffuse light. The haze surface may be treated as a surface rougher than the other surface of the resin layer 220 to diffuse the emitted light. Since the lighting module 200 provides the thickness Z1 in the third direction in the form of a line, it has ductility and may provide surface light in the form of a line. The thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may be 3 mm or less. That is, the lighting module 200 may emit line-shaped surface light of 3 mm or less to at least one side surface. As another example, the lighting module 200 may be larger than 2 mm and may be arranged to be 6 mm or less, in which case the thickness of the lighting module 200 is increased, but the thickness of the resin layer 220 is increased to increase the line width and increase the light distribution region.

Referring to FIG. 3 , on the thickness of each component in the lighting module 200, when the thickness of the substrate 210 is Za, the thickness of the resin layer 220 is Zb, and the thickness of the first reflective member 230 is Zc and the thickness of the second reflective member 240 is Zd, Zb>Za>Zd≥Zc may have a relationship. A interval between the lower surface of the substrate 210 and the upper surface of the second reflective member 240 is the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200. The thickness Zb may have a ratio of 0.4 to 0.8 of Z1, the thickness Za may have a ratio of 0.14 to 0.18 of Z1, and the thickness Zd or Zc may have a ratio of 0.08 to 0.12 of Z1. The Zb may have a ratio of 3.5 to 4 of Za. The Zb may have a ratio of 5.8 to 6.4 of Zc or Zd. By disposing the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 thicker than the thickness Za of the substrate 210, the light emitting device 100 may be protected and light is diffused to guide it, and the ductility may be strengthened. In addition, since the first exit surface in the form of a line having a thickness Zb or a height of the resin layer 220 is provided, a line exit surface may be provided. The distance D1 between the light emitting surface 111 of the light emitting device 100 and the first surface S1 is 5 times or more, for example, in a range of 5 to 10 times the thickness Zb or the height of the resin layer 220. The distance D1 may be 10 mm or more, for example, in the range of 10 mm to 15 mm. When the distance D1 from the light emitting surface 111 to the first exit surface or the first emission surface of the light emitting device 100 is less than 5 times the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220, a distribution of the surface light source may not be uniform, and when it exceeds 10 times, the improvement efficiency of the distribution of the surface light source may be insignificant compared to the increase in the module size.

The wavelength conversion layer 250 may be disposed on an outer surface of the exit side of the resin layer 220. A first surface S1 may be disposed on the exit surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may face the light emitting surfaces 111 of the plurality of light emitting devices 100. The thickness in the vertical direction of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be equal to or greater than the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220. The thickness in the vertical direction of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be provided as the sum of any one of the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 and the thicknesses Za and Zd of the first and second reflective members 230 and 240. That is, the thickness in the vertical direction of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be less than or equal to the distance between the upper surface of the substrate 210 and the second reflective member 240 or greater than or equal to the distance between the upper surface and the lower surface of the resin layer 220. An inner surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with the resin layer 220, and a lower surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with at least one or both of the substrate 210 and the first reflective member 230. The upper surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with the second reflective member 240. Accordingly, the wavelength conversion layer 250 may cover the outer surface (i.e., Sa) of the resin layer 220 and block moisture penetrating from the outside. Here, the outer surface or the first surface S1 of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be the same plane as the side surface of the substrate 210 and/or the second reflective member 240. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may have a width D3 of 0.7 mm or less in the second horizontal direction Y, for example, in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm or in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. The width D3 may be smaller than the length Y1 of the resin layer 220 in the second direction, for example, 1/30 or less of D2. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may include a wavelength conversion means therein. The wavelength conversion means may include a phosphor and/or quantum dots. The phosphor or quantum dot may emit, for example, at least one or two or more of amber, yellow, green, red, or blue light. The content of the wavelength conversion means added to the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be added in the range of 13 wt % or more or 13 wt % to 60 wt % of the weight of the wavelength conversion layer 250. The content of the phosphor in the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be changed according to the emitted light intensity and wavelength conversion efficiency. The light emitted through the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be a mixture of the first light emitted from the light emitting device 100 and the second light wavelength converted in the wavelength conversion layer 250. The mixed light of the first light and the second light may be red or white. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may include a diffusion agent and/or ink particles. The ink particles may include at least one of metal ink, UV ink, and curing ink. The size of the ink particles may be smaller than the size of the phosphor. The surface color of the ink particles may be any one of green, red, yellow, or blue. The types of the ink particles are PVC (Poly vinyl chloride) ink, PC (Polycarbonate) ink, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer) ink, UV resin ink, epoxy ink, silicone ink, PP (polypropylene) ink, water-based ink, plastic ink, PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate) ink, PS (Polystyrene) ink can be selectively applied. Here, the width or diameter of the ink particles may be 5 μm or less, for example, in a range of 0.05 μm to 1 μm. At least one of the ink particles may be smaller than a wavelength of light. The material of the ink particles may include at least one color of red, green, yellow, and blue. For example, the phosphor may emit a red wavelength, and the ink particles may include a red color. Here, when the ink particles and the wavelength conversion means are added together in the wavelength conversion layer 250, the ink particles may lower the transmittance of incident light, and may provide an external color in the same color as the ink color in the power off mode. The content of the wavelength conversion means in the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be lowered to 20 wt % or less by the ink particles.

In the manufacturing process of the lighting module, for example, the light emitting device 100 is mounted on the substrate 210 and the first reflective member 230 is attached to the substrate 210. After the resin layer 220 is formed on the substrate 210, the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be formed. After the resin layer 220 and the wavelength conversion layer 250 are formed, the second reflective member 240 may be attached to the resin layer 220 and the wavelength conversion layer 250. As another example, after forming the resin layer 220, the second reflective member 240 may be attached, and then the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be formed on one side of the resin layer 220.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the lighting module or device may include a resin layer 220, a wavelength conversion layer 250, and a colored ink layer 252 on the substrate 210. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may include a wavelength conversion means, and the colored ink layer 252 may include ink particles. The ink particles may lower the transmittance of light without converting the wavelength of light. In addition, since hot spots generated on the light emitting surface 111 of the light emitting device 100 may be visually recognized from the outside, the colored ink layer 252 lowers the transmittance of light to block and remove the hot spots. The colored ink layer 252 may provide an external color as an ink color when the power is turned off, and transmit the wavelength converted light by the wavelength converting means and the light emitted from the light emitting device 100 when the power is turned on. The colored ink layer 252 may face the light emitting surfaces 111 of the plurality of light emitting devices 100. The first surface S1 may be disposed on the outside of the colored ink layer 252, and the outer surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with the inner surface. The colored ink layer 252 may be disposed on the first surface S1, or may be disposed on some or all of the first surface S1 and the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5 , the wavelength conversion layer 250 or the colored ink layer 252 disposed on the outermost side may further expand the emission area. The height or thickness of the colored ink layer 252 in the third vertical direction Z may be the same as the height or thickness of the wavelength conversion layer 250. The height or thickness of the colored ink layer 250 in the vertical direction Z may be equal to or greater than the height or thickness of the resin layer 220. A width of the colored ink layer 252 in the second horizontal direction Y may be smaller than a width of the wavelength conversion layer 250. An inner surface of the colored ink layer 252 may be in contact with the wavelength conversion layer 250, and a lower surface thereof may be in contact with at least one or both of the substrate 210 and the first reflective member 230. The upper surface of the colored ink layer 252 may be in contact with the second reflective member 240. Accordingly, the colored ink layer 252 may cover the outer surface of the wavelength conversion layer 220 and may reduce a difference between the color of the light emitted in the power on or off mode and the color of the non-emitted surface. Here, the outer surface or the first surface S1 of the colored ink layer 252 may be on the same plane as the side surface of the substrate 210 and/or the second reflective member 240. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6 , when the wavelength conversion layer 250 is disposed on the emission side of the light emitting device 100, the outer surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250, that is, the first surface S1 may be the same plane as the side surface of the substrate 210 and/or the second reflective member 240. As shown in FIG. 6 , the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be disposed between the first and second reflective members 230 and 240 or may be in contact with the first and second reflective members 230 and 240. Here, the second reflective member 240 may expose a portion of the resin layer 220. The second reflective member 240 may expose a portion of the upper surface of the resin layer 220. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , the upper surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be disposed outside the second reflective member 240 or may be exposed from the second reflective member 240. The inner surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with the outer surface of the resin layer 220. The upper portion of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with the side surface of the second reflective member 240, and may be at the same height as the upper surface of the second reflective member 240 or lower than the upper surface of the second reflective member 240. That is, the wavelength conversion layer 250 may further expand the emission area.

As shown in FIG. 9 , the resin layer 220 may be in contact with the periphery of the upper surface of the substrate 210. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with a side surface of the first reflective member 230. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with at least one of a side surface of the substrate 210, a side surface of the resin layer 220, and a side surface of the second reflective member 240 on the exit side. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may be disposed on the outside of the side surface of the substrate 210 and/or the second reflection member 240 to cover the exit-side region of the lighting module 200. A vertical height or thickness of the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be the same as the thickness of the lighting module 200. The wavelength conversion layer 250 is in contact with any one side of the lighting module 200 to suppress moisture penetration and suppress the problem that the second reflective member 240 is lifted. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , the wavelength conversion layer 250 may include the above-described wavelength conversion means, or may include the wavelength conversion means and ink particles.

As shown in FIG. 10 , the resin layer 220 may be in contact with the periphery of the upper surface of the substrate 210. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with a side surface of the first reflective member 230. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with at least one of a side surface of the substrate 210, a side surface of the resin layer 220, and a side surface of the second reflective member 240 on the exit side. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may cover a side surface of the substrate 210 and/or the second reflective member 240. The colored ink layer 252 may be disposed outside the wavelength conversion layer 250 to cover the exit-side region of the lighting module 200. A vertical height or thickness of the wavelength conversion layer 250 and the colored ink layer 252 may be the same as the thickness of the lighting module 200. As shown in FIG. 11 , the colored ink layer 252 is disposed on the outer surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 and may include extension portions Ia and Ib extending to the lower surface and upper surface. The first extension portion Ia of the colored ink layer 252 may extend to the lower surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 and may be in contact with the substrate 210. The second extension portion Ib of the colored ink layer 252 may extend to the upper surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 and contact the first reflective member 240. As shown in FIG. 12 , the colored ink layer 252 is disposed on the outer surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250, and may extend to and contact the side surface of the substrate 210 and/or the side surface of the second reflective member 240. Here, the wavelength conversion layer 250 is disposed between the substrate 210 and the second reflective member 240, and may be smaller than the vertical height of the colored ink layer 252. Aa shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 , the wavelength conversion layer 250 may include the above-described wavelength conversion means, and the colored ink layer 252 may include the above-described ink particles. As shown in FIG. 13 , the inside of the wavelength conversion layer 250 is disposed between the substrate 210 and the second reflective member 240 or protrudes toward the light emitting device 100, an upper portion Pb thereof may be disposed on the outside of the second reflective member 240, and the lower portion Pa thereof may be disposed on the outside of the substrate 210. The wavelength conversion layer 250 may be in contact with the outer surface of the resin layer 220, the lower edge and side surfaces of the second reflective member 240, and the lower surface edge and side surfaces of the substrate 210.

The material of the wavelength conversion layer 250 and/or the colored ink layer 252 includes a transparent material, and may be selectively formed from among the materials of the resin layer 220 disclosed above. The material of the wavelength conversion layer 250 and/or the colored ink layer 252 may be the same as that of the resin layer 220 or at least one may be different. In the lighting module(s) disclosed above, the second reflective member 240 may be removed when another device is disposed or a housing is disposed. The second reflective member 240 may be formed of a light blocking layer or a light blocking plate.

Here, the embodiment of the invention has been described as an example in which the wavelength conversion layer 250 is disposed or the wavelength conversion layer 250 and the colored ink layer 252 are disposed in the light exit direction or the horizontal direction from the resin layer 220. As another example, at least one or a plurality of layers of a resin material may be stacked on the resin layer 220 in a vertical direction. The one or more layers may be a single layer or a patterned layer having a pattern having a predetermined shape. The single layer or the pattern layer may be disposed on one surface and/or the other surface of the resin layer 220. For example, the single layer or the pattern layer may be disposed on a portion of the upper surface and/or a portion of the lower surface of the resin layer 220. This structure will be described in detail in the second embodiment.

FIG. 14 is a plan view showing a lighting module according to a second embodiment, FIGS. 15 to 20 are modified examples of side cross-sectional views of the lighting module of FIG. 14 , and FIGS. 21 to 25 are other examples of a side cross-sectional view of a lighting module of FIGS. 1 and 7 or FIG. 14 .

Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15 , the lighting module may include a substrate 210, a resin layer 220, a wavelength conversion layer 250, a light emitting device 100, and at least one reflective member 230 and 240 and a first pattern layer 255. The first pattern layer 255 includes a transparent resin material, and the resin material may be selectively formed from materials of the resin layer 220. The first pattern layer 255 may include a wavelength conversion means therein. Alternatively, the first pattern layer 255 may include ink particles and a wavelength conversion means therein.

The first pattern layer 255 may be disposed to be equal to or longer than the length of the resin layer 220 in the first direction X. The first pattern layer 255 may have a length D6 smaller than the length of the resin layer 220 in the second direction Y. For example, the light emitting device 100 and the first surface S1 may be less than or equal to the distance D1 between them. The length D6 of the first pattern layer 255 in the second direction may be 2 mm or more, for example, in the range of 2 mm to 10 mm. When the wavelength conversion means is added to the first pattern layer 255, it may be smaller than the content of the wavelength conversion means added to the wavelength conversion layer 220. When a wavelength conversion means is added to the first pattern layer 255 and the wavelength conversion layer 220, for example, the wavelength conversion mean may be a phosphor or/and quantum dots that emit a wavelength of the same color, or may be a material that emits a wavelength of a different color. The first pattern layer 255 may transmit some light traveling in the direction of the first surface S1 through the resin layer 220 and may be emitted as wavelength-converted light. The first pattern layer 255 may be disposed on the first region of the resin layer 220, and thus the second reflective member 240 may be disposed on the second area of the resin layer 220. The first pattern layer 255 may vertically overlap the resin layer 220, the first reflective member 230, and the substrate 210. However, the first pattern layer 255 may not vertically overlap the light emitting device 100. The first pattern layer 255 may be in contact with the upper surface of the resin layer 220. The first pattern layer 255 may be in contact with a side surface of the second reflective member 240. The first pattern layer 255 may contact the upper surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 or may overlap the wavelength conversion layer 250 in a vertical direction. The thickness of the first pattern layer 255 may be the same as or thinner than the thickness of the second reflective member 240. When the light emitted through the first surface S1 is the main light, the light emitted through the first pattern layer 255 may be the sub light.

Here, the second reflective member 240 may extend to a length to cover the upper surface of the light emitting device 100, and a distance D8 between a straight line perpendicular to one end of the second reflective member 240 and the light emitting surface 111 may be provided in a range of 3 mm or more, for example, 3 mm to 6 mm. Since the front end of the second reflective member 240 covers the upper portion of the light emitting device 100, a region in which a hot spot is generated on a peripheral region adjacent to the light emitting device 100 may be reduced. In FIGS. 14 and 15 , the length D6 of the first pattern layer 255 in the second direction Y may be in the range of 1 to 2 times the distance D8, and for example, it may be 5 mm or more or in the range of from 10 mm to 10 mm. Since the first pattern layer 255 is spaced apart from the straight line perpendicular to the light emitting surface 111 by the distance D8, incident surface light may be guided and emitted, and hot spots may be suppressed. Here, the area of the first region in which the second reflective member 240 is disposed on the upper surface of the resin layer 220 is larger or smaller than the area of the second region in which the first pattern layer 255 is disposed, and for example, the area of the second region may be in the range of 0.6 times to 1.3 times the area of the first region.

FIG. 16 is a structure in which a colored ink layer 252 is further disposed on the outer surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 in the structure of FIG. 15 . The first pattern layer 255 may be disposed on or in contact with the upper surface of the resin layer 220, or may be further disposed on the upper surface of the wavelength conversion layer 250 and/or the colored ink layer 252.

As shown in FIG. 17 , the first pattern layer 255 may be formed in a pattern having a regular shape or an irregular shape. For example, the first pattern layer 255 includes at least one of a polygonal, circular, or line shape, includes a shape in which a plurality of patterns is connected to each other, and may be alternatively formed of a shape in which lines are crossed, a polygonal or circular pattern is connected by a line, or a continuous or discontinuous line pattern. The first pattern layer 255 may have a honeycomb structure, a mesh shape, or may selectively include a lattice shape, a plurality of line shapes, a plurality of polygonal shapes, a plurality of elliptical shapes, a plurality of circular shapes, and the like. The first pattern layer 255 may include a pattern having a first shape and a pattern having a second shape within the first shape. The first and second shapes may be different from each other or may have the same shape, and may be a closed loop shape continuously connected or an open loop shape having discontinuous connections. The first pattern layer 255 may include a plurality of holes OP1 therein. An upper surface of the resin layer 220 may be exposed through the hole OP1. The first pattern layer 255 may be provided to have a thickness smaller than that of the second reflective member 240. The shape of the sub-light emitted through the first pattern layer 255 by the pattern-shaped first pattern layer 255 has various shapes to match the pattern shape, and a shape of the main light which is emitted through the first surface S1, that is, the shape of light emitted through the wavelength conversion layer 250 may be a line type.

The first pattern layer 255 may not vertically overlap the second reflective member 240.
